Working on a vCloud Director 5.1 proof of concept in work, ran into an issue where deploying a new vApp would fail after about a minute. Same with trying to import a template. All errors were of the type :

Folder vApp_system_25 (b220707f-7e73-401a-91b9-c74000c76a1a) does not exist in our inventory, but vCenter Server claims that it does..

I could indeed see the object in vCenter, but nothing in vCloud.

Searching around, I found this VMware communities article http://communities.vmware.com/message/2202781 It mentions “None of the cells have a vCenter proxy service running.” Checking our environment, this message was also present. The communities page indicated that it was then fixed by cleaning the QRTZ tables in the database, but no details on how. Not being a DBA, this bothers me :-)
